I worked full-time for about 18 years until my FEV1 started dropping. When it dropped to the 30's, that's when I decided to quit woking.

I've worked 4 days a week for the last 18 or so years. I had to take a 4 day schedule at university too, because 5 days a week - which I worked previously has always been a strain. For the last 7 years my schedule has been 4 days per week from home. Previously I went in one day or more a week, but I found the office renovations that seemed to happen twice a year - and the colds/flus/lung infections and my allergies made me pretty sick, so my doctor requested "all work from home".
<br>
<br>Although I officially work 30 hours a week, there's also the need to stay current in many technologies etc. outside of work hours.
<br>
<br>My FEV1 is about 60%.
<br>
<br>For the last couple of years, I have found it impossible to do a training course with significant hours on top of my job. I always end up dropping out.
<br>
<br>I also find it challenging to work "part-time" when my colleagues are working full-time. The expectations are that I do the same amount of administrative tasks/meeting attending as full-time staff do, which puts extra pressure on me to get the assigned work done in my allotted non-admin. hours.
<br>
<br>I know the answer is not dropping to 3 days per week...it would be more stressful in my case.<br>Oh - should also mention. I have two kids - now adults - and part of my reason for being 4 days a week was managing those responsibilities with university and - later - working.
